Heirship Affidavit of Son of Decedent by pellcity27

An Affidavit of Heirship is generally used when someone died without a Will and left real estate. Heirs are the family members entitled to the property of a deceased person. This Affidavit helps to establish who the heirs of the Decedent are and which are entitled to all or part of the Decedent’s estate. In the Affidavit, the affiant (the person giving the affidavit) must generally swear under oath to each of the following issues:
1. That they knew the Decedent;
2. That the Decedent died on a certain date in a certain county;
3. The identity of the Decedent’s family members and heirs;
4. A statement that the Decedent did not owe any debts at the time of his death; and
5. A statement that the witnesses do not stand to gain financially from the Estate.
